Two real-time digital imaging systems, able to replace conventional autoradiography for radioactive hot particle separation and identification, are presented in this paper. The hot plutonium particles used for the study originate from the Thule nuclear weapon accident, Both of the real-time imaging techniques are initiated with sample splitting and measurements with a HPGe detector. in order to de
A new mechanistic model of drug release by osmotic pumping and diffusion from pellets coated with a semipermeable film developing pores created by the leaching of water-soluble compounds initially present in the coating, has been developed. The model describes dynamically all the main processes occurring during release, i.e. the inflow of solvent driven by the difference in osmotic pressure across
The growth and optoelectronic properties of core-shell nanostructures are influenced by the strain induced by the lattice mismatch between core and shell. In contrast with planar films, nanostructures contain multiple facets that act as independent substrates for shell growth, which enables different relaxation mechanisms. In this study, X-ray diffraction data are presented that show that InGa1-N
This article addresses the role of the civilizing process' in the historiography of the Victorian period. The author develops a critique of perspectives that deem the nineteenth century to be an era of discipline and self-restraint, arguing that these result from the hegemonic position of literary perspectives within Victorian Studies and their frequent reliance on Foucauldian-inspired techniques
Bark necrosis and resin flows in Norway spruce have increased in southern Sweden over the last few decades. Frost damage late in spring has been suggested as a possible cause, but other factors besides the climate may have contributed to the damage. The nutrient status influences the hardening processes and plants with poor nutritional conditions have an increased sensitivity to frost. In this stu
We consider the problem of obtaining information about an inaccessible half-space from electromagnetic measurements made in the accessible half-space. If the measurements are of limited precision, some scatterers will be undetectable because their scattered fields are below the precision of the measuring instrument. How can we make optimal measurements? In other words, what incident fields should
Teaching design history to future designers poses great challenges to me as an academic in the design field. There is a constant need to further describe and analyze how design and its history continuously are being made. The role of the designer implies the crafting of artefacts or at least an ability to communicate the possibility of them being materialized. Design history has mainly focused on
Popular Abstract in Swedish Med utgångspunkt från svensk-italienska ungdomars erfarenhet av att växa upp med två kulturer, vill författaren, utifrån ett pedagogiskt perspektiv, ge en beskrivning av innebörden i tvärkulturell fostran. Tvärkulturell fostran i den här studien innebär fostran med betydande inslag från minst två klart skilda kulturtraditioner, den svenska och den italienska. Den empiri
Den dömande verksamheten är en av samhällets mest ingripande former av maktutövning. För att allmänheten ska ha förtroende för denna verksamhet krävs att den framstår som objektiv och därmed legitim. Med utgångspunkt i olika typer av kritik, som förts fram inom såväl den massmediala debatten som den mer rättsinterna aktualiseras frågor om objektivitet och rättstillämpningens legitimitet. FörfattarThe adjudication process is one of society’s most intrusive forms of power. To maintain the general public’s confidence in the judiciary, it is crucial that the judicial activities are perceived as being conducted objectively and hence legitimately. Criminal trials have been subjected to scrutiny and criticism of various kinds in the media as well as in internal debates within the legal discipline
This chapter explores the expansion of the Tupian peoples across greater Amazonia to better understand the mechanisms and processes of cultural and linguistic contact and change. Tupian languages are or were spoken among indigenous groups distributed from the Brazilian Atlantic coast through Paraguay to the eastern Andean slopes of Peru. The investigation uses GIS (Geographical Information Systems
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad är analytisk kemi? Den grundläggande frågeställningen för en analytisk kemist är att finna vad för slags ämnen det finns i ett prov och hur mycket det finns av varje ämne. Detta är inte på långa vägar någon lätt uppgift. Det innebär i många fall att alla ämnen måste separeras från varandra för att sedan kunna identifieras. Som tur är så är de flesta ämnen olika varaThis thesis deals with the combination of electrochromatography and molecular imprinting technology. Electrochromatography is characterised by high separation efficiency, simple instrumentation, and minute consumption of sample. As a novel approach to obtain unique selectivity in capillary electrochromatographic systems molecularly imprinted matrices were used. Molecular imprinting technology repr
Objective: The proteoglycan decorin stabilizes collagen whereas biglycan and hyaluronan disrupt well-organized collagen. The aim was to compare hyaluronan and proteoglycans in human fetal membranes obtained before and after spontaneous labour at term. Study design: Prelabour samples of fetal membranes (N = 9) were obtained from elective caesarean sections and regionally sampled from over the cervi
Five acute leukaemia or highly malignant lymphoma patients at a hospital in southern Sweden were interviewed about their daily living problems, their coping strategies and their opinions about the nursing care they received during the active phase of their treatment. In addition the EORTC QLQ-C30, the Global Life Quality and the Sense of Coherence scales were administered. The data were analysed f
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund För att diagnostisera förändringar i käkbenet är röntgenundersökning av stor betydelse. En bendestruktion blir synlig i röntgenbilden först när relativt stor mängd ben försvunnit. Flera tidigare studier har visat att destruktionen inte ses förrän den påverkar den kompakta yttre delen av käkbenet. Andra studier har däremot visat att destruktionen kan ses tidiga
NanoMAX is a hard x-ray nanoimaging beamline at the new Swedish synchrotron radiation source MAX IV that became operational in 2016. Being a beamline dedicated to x-ray nanoimaging in both 2D and 3D, NanoMAX is the first to take full advantage of MAX IVs exceptional low emittance and resulting coherent properties. We present results from the first experiments at NanoMAX that took place in December
The massive amounts of text data made available through the Google Books digitization project have inspired a new field of big-data textual research. Named culturomics, this field has attracted the attention of a growing number of scholars over recent years. However, initial studies based on these data have been criticized for not referring to relevant work in linguistics and language technology.
This study aims to understand president Duterte’s ’war on drugs’ through human security theory. In order to achieve an analytical framework for human security, two of its subcategories have been used as a theoretical entrance: personal and political security. The study consists of a single case study with an understanding approach to the phenomenon of the Philippine drug war through human security
Under hösten 2017 spreds hashtaggen #metoo som en lavin på sociala medier. Upprinnelsen till hashtaggen var ett utpekande av en filmproducent som avslöjades ha utsatt flertalet kvinnor inom den amerikanska filmbranschen för sexuella övergrepp. I samband med avslöjandet uppmanade en amerikansk skådespelerska sina kvinnliga kollegor att offentliggöra sina erfarenheter av sexuella övergrepp under hasIn the fall of 2017, the hashtag #metoo spread virally on social media. The hashtag started when a Hollywood film producer was accused of having exposed several women in the American film industry of sexual abuse. In connection with the allegations, an American actress encouraged her female colleagues to publish their experiences of sexual abuse under the hashtag of me too. The hashtag was first u
